New Jersey's homegrown firms largely fell short of average attorney population growth rates in 2016, with many seeing head counts recede, according to a recent survey of the largest U.S.-based firms.
Of the 12 New Jersey firms included in the survey, seven saw year-over-year attorney population decrease to some degree last year. All but two of those had growth rates lower than 2 percent. (Nationally, lawyer head counts grew slightly more than 2 percent, compared with last year's overall growth of 0.6 percent.)
The survey, conducted annually by sibling publication The National Law Journal, includes 500 firms—with 350 ranked by size, and 150 others grouped in tiers based on size. (Apart from the dozen New Jersey firms ranked in the group of 350, eight more are included in the tiered groups.)
